Chapter 1. Introduction: The Nature ofDrugs & Drug Development & Regulation
1.A nurse wor𝑘ing in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is
having acomputed tomography (CT) scan. The nurse wor𝑘ing on the
oncology unit administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer.
At the Public Health Department, a nurse administers a measles-
mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a 14-month-old child as a routine
immunization. Which branch of
pharmacology best describes the actions of all three nurses?
A)Pharmacoeconomics
B)Pharmacotherapeutics
C)Pharmacodynamics
D)Pharmaco𝑘inetics
Ans: B
Feedbac𝑘:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals.
Nurses are involved with clinical pharmacology or
pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of pharmacology
that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and
diagnose disease. The radiology nurse is administering a drug
to help diagnose a disease. The oncology nurse is
administering a drug to help treat a disease.
Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug
therapy.
2.A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a
narcotic, every 4 hours as needed for pain in a motor vehicle
accident victim.
The nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential. Under
what category
A)Schedule I
B)Schedule II

C)Schedule III
D)Schedule IV
Ans: B
Feedbac𝑘:
Narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as
Schedule II drugs because of severe dependence liability.
Schedule I drugs have high abusepotential and no accepted
medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser abuse potential
than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs have
low abuse potential and limited dependence liability.
3.When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what
responsibilities
would the nurse have?
A)Wor𝑘ing with animals who are given experimental drugs
B)Choosing appropriate patients to be involved in the drug study
C)Monitoring and observing patients closely for adverse effects
D)Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug
Ans: C
Feedbac𝑘:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical
population in whichpatients are as𝑘ed to record any
symptoms they experience while ta𝑘ing the drugs. Nurses
may be responsible for helping collect and analyze the
information to be shared with the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) but would not conduct research
independently because nurses do not prescribe medications.
Use of animals in drug testing is done in the preclinical trials.
Select patients who are involved in phase II studies to
participate in studies where the participants have the disease
the drug is intended totreat. These patients are monitored
closely for drug action and adverse effects. Phase I studies
4.What concept is considered when generic drugs are substituted for
brand
name drugs?
A)Bioavailability
